The Quiet Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Laughable psychodrama.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hap Erstein
In retrospect, it is Belle who manages to acquit herself best with a role that never quite makes sense, but affords her some expressive, silent sequences. Surely she will find other film work and then quietly drop The Quiet from her biography.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Perhaps future generations of film scholars will embrace The Quiet as a B-movie that problematizes the oppressive gaze, but for now, it's a misfire.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Rather than an indictment of depravity, the movie quickly becomes a particularly cynical example of it.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Bordering on camp and loaded with lesbian undertones, this wretched drama plays like a high-school horror flick that trades monsters and mayhem for an overdose of force-fed cruelty.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A creepy family drama that reeks of pretentiousness.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
The film's focus shouldn't be Dot (Camilla Belle), a deaf, mute and orphaned teen. It should be her new family of suburbanites sliding into hell.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
A drama that all but begs to have its earnestness called into question.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Sometimes a movie is so repulsive and devoid of redeeming material that afterward, you're certain it doesn't deserve to exist.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It's a complete fraud that never feels the least bit authentic in its efforts to titillate and shock.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The Quiet is in such bad taste that it's a shame the thriller doesn't make a better bad movie.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
An unnerving little psychological study that makes the most of the high-def aesthetic.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
The director combines an angst-ridden look at suburban perversions with a teen titillation comedy, and the final product often comes off as pretentious, crass and overwrought.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Trapped between edgy art flick and exploitation psychothriller, The Quiet manages to be neither, and manages to be pretty awful in the bargain.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Sheer punishment to watch.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A repugnant little indie black comedy, poorly acted in hideous-looking digital video, guaranteed to send audiences fleeing for the nearest shower.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A screamingly bad melodrama whose message seems to be that people who think they're talking to a deaf person admit things they wouldn't admit to themselves. Silence, please.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
What should be a sustained mood piece instead flops around uncertainly, trading in understated strength for noisy diversion.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Approaches a serious subject with a portentousness that it hopes will be confused for art.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A serious subject, handled in an exploitive and pretentiously arty fashion.
